From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Dirk Bergstrom" To: Subject: X-GNATS-NOTIFY & the CC list in 4.0 Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 19:13:00 -0000 Message-ID: X-SW-Source: 2001-q4/msg00259.html Message-ID: <20011221191300.WPgKWpdQEgBsdp6jkctsDZ4pymWgWDeFsr689C4esvk@z> after much testing and digging around the sources, it appears to me that gnats more or less ignores both the X-GNATS-Notify: and Cc: headers of a PR when sending out state-change messages (the "audit-mail" mail-format). gnatsweb happily populates and reads XGN & Cc headers, leading one to believe that they are useful, but no matter how i mess around in dbconfig, i can't get gnats to generate mail to the addresses in the Cc or XGN headers. i've tried adding "cc", "x-gnats-notify", "headers[cc]", "$MailCC", and a couple other things to the to-addresses list in the audit-mail mail-format, with no luck. i dug thru the sources, and found the code that generates headers, but i haven't been able to decipher the twisty maze of structs, enums and subroutine calls that are used to grab email addresses. from this (mail.h): /* These addresses are always mapped through the responsible adm file. */ struct mail_address { /* A fixed name. */ char *fixedAddress; /* A list of addresses to try--each one is tried in turn until a non-empty one is found. */ FieldList addresses; }; it looks like the source for mail addresses are all gnats fields, and not headers (or "fixed-address" values from the dbconfig file). actually, they can also be parameters (like "$EditUserEmailAddr"), but there are a limited set of those, and they don't include cc or xgn. i vaguely remember reading somewhere that X-GNATS-Notify was deprecated, or just plain didn't work, but i can't find such a thing now. i've searched the manpages, the *.texi files, and the changelogs, and i can't find any mention of them in 4.0. so, does anyone know what the deal is with these headers? if they are unsupported, we should either support them in gnats, or remove them from gnatsweb. if they are supported, somebody needs to tell me how to get at them in a meaningful way. thanks. -- Dirk Bergstrom dirk@juniper.net _____________________________________________ Juniper Networks Inc., Computer Geek Tel: 707.433.0564 Fax: 707.433.0769 _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
